Families are welcome at the chalet

Kids love the chalet, with its enormous garden, ideal for snowman build­ing and snowballing — small ones can sledge in the garden too.
In summer it’s a wonder­ful place to play and kids can be super­vised from the terrace or the balcony.

The chalet is the last house on the access road, so there is hardly any traffic, and ample parking. Should you prefer, there are bus stops very close by, and Les Praz train station is a pleas­ant ten minute stroll through the woods.
It’s a tranquil spot so you can always be sure of a good night’s sleep.

The layout of the chalet is ideally suited to accom­mo­dat­ing a family on each floor. View floor­plans
On the top floor, the two bedrooms (usually a double and a twin, though they can be made up as you please) are separated by the bathroom. On the ground floor they are next to each other, with the bathroom opposite.

We have both fondue and raclette sets which are tremen­dous fun for all the family.

For teenagers, the ensuite mazot can provide the feeling of indepen­dence that can really make their holiday special — or alter­na­tively it makes a wonder­ful retreat for anyone who prefers a little more peace.

Chamonix for families

Chamonix’s short trans­fer time — it’s just an hour from the airport to the chalet door! — helps make a good start to your holiday. If you’re flying, the main termi­nal at Geneva has an excel­lent nursery complete with cots — just ask the staff to point it out.

The low level of the village (1080m) is ideal for babies and younger children who may not toler­ate altitude well. France in general is a very child-friendly place and you’ll find families welcomed at all restau­rants in Chamonix. The town offers much more than most ski resorts and there’s a huge variety of things to do — here are some examples:

Summer in Chamonix — family activities

From cycling, hiking and climb­ing for all levels to white water sports and swimming, from horse riding and mountain railways to summer luge and adven­ture playgrounds — Chamonix in summer is a children’s paradise. See our Chamonix family activ­i­ties in Summer page for more.

Chamonix family activ­i­ties in winter

From ski and snowboard lessons to husky rides and ice hockey, there’s loads to do here for children of all ages. See our Chamonix Family Activ­i­ties in Winter page for more.

Bring­ing the whole family

Child­care by the grand­par­ents or other relatives is a great thing, and Chamonix is an ideal place for bring­ing all the gener­a­tions on holiday. There are loads of things to do away from the slopes for all ages, and we’ve put together some of the best sugges­tions for off the slopes fun. The mountain railways are a partic­u­larly good day out for every­one when a rest is called for
